Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law

Legal Aid & Advocacy · Louisiana · Free

National civil rights legal organization including LGBTQ+ civil rights work. Useful for trans people navigating ID document updates across multiple states and federal agencies. Local LGBTQ+ bar associations maintain referral lists of affirming attorneys; many offer reduced-fee consults. Bostock v. Clayton County (2020) made workplace LGBTQ+ discrimination illegal under federal Title VII — many people still don't know they're protected. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
